8 0

Swift is making a satire of how the Irish government is helping in solving poverty levels in Irish.

In Swift's book "Modest Proposal For preventing the Children of Poor People From being a Burthen to Their Parents or Country, and For making them Beneficial to the Publick" he gives a " better" way in which the Irish can solve poverty and its effects. Women and children are always in the streets begging to feed themselves. This he says will make the children turn to crime or become overdependent when they grow up. Women in Irish do nothing else other than beg on the streets.

Swift introduces a proposal that he thinks will solve poverty. He says that poor babies should be sold as food. Swift says that his proposal will "contribute to the feeding, and partly to the clothing of many thousands." and that It will benefit by preventing women from aborting their pregnancies.

On the Friday before his sculpture project was due, Jack had still been
xenn [34]

Answer:

The statement which best explains how Jack's motivation leads to a conflict is:

A. Jack's preference for activities other than his sculpture project causes him to disappoint his art teacher.

Explanation:

According to the passage, Jack had a couple of excuses to not do his art work. First, the basketball practices, then the chores. Let's say Jack did not have a choice concerning the practices, after all playing a sport may be a big deal in his student life. He might, for instance, hope for a sports scholarship when he goes to college. However, we cannot say Jack did not have a choice concerning his chores. He could very well have spoken to his parents and told them he had an important art project to work on. It is very likely that they would have allowed him to go work on it instead of do chores. Why didn't he say anything then?

We can assume that Jack would rather do other things than work on the art project. If that weren't the case, he would have tried harder to find the time for it. Now, his teacher is disappointed, and Jack will certainly be in trouble. With that in mind, we can choose letter A as the best option:

A. Jack's preference for activities other than his sculpture project causes him to disappoint his art teacher.

These words sank deep into my heart, stirred up sentiments within that lay slumbering, and called into existence an entirely new
kaheart [24]

Answer:

B. It shows that Douglass's new awareness of how owners maintain control over slaves allows him to better understand how to improve his situation.

Explanation:

Frederick Douglass was an American African man born into slavery. He later learned to read and write, later gaining his freedom and became a huge abolitionist working for the freedom and rights of his fellow black people. His memoir "Narrative of The life of Frederick Douglass" became one of the foremost important documentation of a slave and in general, the slavery system.

The given excerpt is from when Douglass was a slave in the household of the Aulds. There, Mrs. Sophia Auld being unfamiliar with having a slave was surprisingly good to him. She even taught him how to read and learn the alphabet, Douglass wrote "<em>she very kindly commenced to teach me the A, B, C. After I had learned this, she assisted me in learning to spell words of three or four letters"</em>. But then her husband came to know about it and prevented her from continuing this education, "<em>telling her, among other things, that it was unlawful, as well as unsafe, to teach a slave to read.</em>"

This is when Douglass realized that education is what a slave needs to get equal with the white masters, admitting that his "<em>youthful understanding had struggled, but struggled in vain</em>". But Mr. Auld's prevention of his education made him more aware of the slave owners' authority over their slaves and it was this moment that he understood what he needed to improve his situation.
